Ubuntu Manpage: svcstatus.cgi - CGI program to view Xymon status logs

NAME

       svcstatus.cgi - CGI program to view Xymon status logs

SYNOPSIS

       svcstatus.cgi [--historical] [--history={top|bottom}]

DESCRIPTION

       svcstatus.cgi  is a CGI program to present a Xymon status log in HTML form (ie, as a web page). It can be
       used both for the logs showing the current status, and for historical logs from the "histlogs" directory.
       It  is normally invoked as a CGI program, and therefore receives most of the input parameters via the CGI
       QUERY_STRING environment variable.

       Unless the "--historical" option is present, the current status log is used. This assumes a  QUERY_STRING
       environment variable of the form
          HOSTSVC=hostname.servicename
       where  "hostname"  is  the name of the host with commas instead of dots, and "servicename" is the name of
       the service (the column name in Xymon).  Such links are automatically generated by the  xymongen(1)  tool
       when the environment contains "XYMONLOGSTATUS=dynamic".

       With  the  "--historical"  option  present,  a  historical  logfile  is used. This assumes a QUERY_STRING
       environment variable of the form
          HOST=hostname&SERVICE=servicename&TIMEBUF=timestamp
       where "hostname" is the name of the host with commas instead of dots, "servicename" is the  name  of  the
       service,  and  "timestamp"  is the time of the log. This is automatically generated by the history.cgi(1)
       tool.

OPTIONS

--historical
Use a historical logfile instead of the current logfile.

--history={top|bottom|none}
When showing the current logfile, provide a "HISTORY" button at the top or the bottom of the
webpage, or not at all. The default is to put the HISTORY button at the bottom of the page.

--env=FILENAME
Load the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

--templates=DIRECTORY
Where to look for the HTML header- and footer-templates used when generating the webpages.
Default: $XYMONHOME/web/

--no-svcid
Do not include the HTML tags to identify the hostname/service on the generated web page. Useful is
this already happens in the hostsvc_header template file, for instance.

--multigraphs=TEST1[,TEST2]
This causes svcstatus.cgi to generate links to service graphs that are split up into multiple
images, with at most 5 graphs per image. This option only works in Xymon mode. If not specified,
only the "disk" status is split up this way.

--no-disable
By default, the info-column page includes a form allowing users to disable and re-enable tests. If
your setup uses the default separation of administration tools into a separate, password-
protected area, then use of the disable- and enable-functions requires access to the
administration tools. If you prefer to do this only via the dedicated administration page, this
option will remove the disable-function from the info page.

--no-jsvalidation
The disable-function on the info-column page by default uses JavaScript to validate the form
before submitting the input to the Xymon server. However, some browsers cannot handle the
Javascript code correctly so the form does not work. This option disables the use of Javascript
for form-validation, allowing these browsers to use the disable-function.

--nkconfig=FILENAME
Use FILENAME as the configuration file for the Critical Systems information. The default is to
load this from $XYMONHOME/etc/critical.cfg
